BANKSY "Dismaland" in Weston-super-Mare

[dranfan14]

wtf's going on? lol

[Board Stupid]

I bet the flippers are getting sweaty hands at the prospect of a new Banksy print.

lulz. I think Mr. B knows how to price his market. There will be no meat left for people thinking they can profit from any of his releases.

I disagree. His last release was $750 and he knew they were flipping for 4-5k outta the gate.

I disagree and can't think of one artist who has been more generous with his collecting base. 

[joecool91]

Has anyone actually answered the question of what's going on here? 

[gatecrasher]

Another Outis release so soon ?

His last release was the barbed wire heart balloon. That was priced at market.

That was a VIP deep pocket release. The last public release was $750.

Mods- end this painful charade

Yes, it's really not funny for ordinary people as me.
Is it only jokes or news, or both, or none, between VIP and do we need a reservation member card ?
I know that I don't know, but one day I will know before to know...

[Aza]

Don't tell me this rumour is all down to that awful looking Guy Fawkes thing at the top of the page.

[chads007]

Where is biggie's original post? Did the vip/originals owners wing of Banksy Corp threaten action?

lots of speculation but no idea how / why this surfaced and we still haven't had anything to suggest it's all real

So, if it was a print release how do you think that would be done - f5 bunfight or a more sedate lottery......I'm assuming that he won't go for a shop drop anymore after CYW as the risk to public safety is too great - many images to choose from or would it be something new

IF it was a show, what format? After BOTI I'd be surprised if he went with a traditional gallery show so how do you think he could top his residency in New York - would it be a 'spit and sawdust' type event. Maybe a derelict building and everything demolished at the end

Pure speculation but much more interesting than whether there'll be a PDF, lottery, market stall.....hey, let's not even think about what you could buy (as prices are beyond most of us normal people now)!

I don't want to get excited until I get some confirmation of what is going on......but I can't help myself

I get the impression lots of people know something which they don't want to share on this forum. Time will tell.

You should have said 'Cannot'.

Also, where's Fragile & Lonely on this thread?

Its hardly a secret - it's been out there for weeks !!

then, can you please create a fake account and post it here, please? I think this secrecy is quite annoying...especially saying "I know but you do not". if it was a secret, there was no point of creating a thread (Biggie then disappeared even if he has been posting elsewhere...)

can somebody mention if it is a print or a show or something else?

I went. Now there's a big mess

[Edge]

For a forum that's dedicated to discuss his art I find this very bad form.

Please turn off the lights if that's the case....

[Someones Brain]

Yay, it's a timed release ...

The only release will be from peoples pants

THIS. THiS is the kinda shit that gives us a bad name. People, if rumours are to be believed there may be a Banksy event in Weston Super Mare in August. What there won't be is prints (how many were released during Better Out Than In or The Bristol Museum show: none). So why doesn't everyone swallow a chill pill and wait and see what happens? We'll all find out at approximately the same time. There won't be a pdf it's an old forum joke... And yes, I'm aware he sold most of the Bristol Show but it wasn't to us commoners... So let's wait and see. And *if* anybody really knew something it's unlikely they'd post it here and ruin confidences....

[anorak]

my bet is north of the border - Edinburgh festival's in August?
